Introduction

Hello World!

My name is Tom Murphy. I am an IT professional from the frozen tundra of Green Bay, WI. I've decided to create a personal blog in order to document and share some of the interesting things I come across working in the fast-paced world of Information Technology. I just took a position with a new company about six months ago, and looking back, I'm amazed at how much I've learned and grown in such a short span of time. I love the fast-paced nature of IT, and I especially love learning new things, which goes hand-in-hand with IT.

A little about myself.

Have lived in Green Bay most of my life.

Married to my wife Tracy, with two young children.

Associates Degree in Information Technology. Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program online, working towards a Bachelors Degree in IT Network Administration from Western Governor's University.

Currently a Server Analyst for a Fortune 500 energy company - primary responsibilities include remote access via Citrix XenApp and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. I also am responsible for our private cloud infrastructure, based on Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 R2. We are hosting several clusters containing over 500 virtual servers, and around 1000 virtual desktops.

I also have a passion for PowerShell and automation. I am always trying to learn more about PowerShell, and how to utilize it to automate our workflows and support processes.

My journey in IT is still beginning, and I hope to use this blog to share some of the things I learn along the way, in hopes that others might find it useful. I'm not sure how often I will be posting, but I'll try to get an update out now and again. Also feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn. Enjoy!
